Tuition and Financial Aid

"It was...worth every penny. Our son has thrived both academically and socially and is well prepared for his future adventures in life. It doesn't seem likely that he'll ever have another experience like this in his life."
- Alumnus Parent

Making a commitment to your child's foundation in education is admirable and exciting. This page shares numbers, yet the work we do is with humans. We'd love to have a conversation about you and your needs, and how we might be a great fit for your family.
